'We've been warning for quite some time that the numbers don't add up and we need to take action through our tax system'

Over the period of Scotland’s rent cap to date – from August 2022 to January 2024 – the number of properties on the statutory landlord register has actually increased from 339,632 to 345,374.
So not -22,000 but +5,700 🏠

The lyrics to 'Unstoppable', in case you were wondering.🤷♂️
